Finishing

Three basic ways to help you score under basket:

Scoring with both hands

Players have to learn to score with the good as well as the weak hand under the board. This prevents a defender from blocking the ball too easily. The Mikan drill can be used here to teach to finish with a good and weak hand.

Defense-Body-Ball-principe

The basketball must be protected when attacking the basket. For this the player must be between the defender and the basketball. Many players spin their bodies to the basket when they try to score, making it a “Defense-Ball-Body” situation. The ball is not protected and the shot is blocked. Practice finishing with the inner shoulder to the ring. More Mikans!
